Default How far for no hands?

Ok lady's and gentlemen, the question here is how far do I go with No Hands?

My original idea was to pull the engine and re-ring it then see how far it can go...

After taking my buddies 2.3 turbo for a ride, and hearing what he wants to do with his (TT volvo head anyone?) 2.3 swap... It got me thinking about what I want out of my car...

So help me out here guys. What do you think I should do?

Junk yard power
or
Nuts to the wall, go all out beast that needs a C4 to hold the power?

If have the money to go all out why not. Start search for the bellhousing from a Pinto or searching for a 5.0 c-4 bellhousing and c-4 core. Good luck with which ever way it goes. Maurice

Id say ditch it, seeing all of the money youve dumped into the car. All the things youve had to replace more than once.....

the stress id imagine youve gotten from it

BUT, im sure by now you are really attached to it.....

maybe try a different driveline altogther and get away from the 2.3T for a while
